A lawyer by profession and a runner at heart, Roshni Rai’s mission is to instil the same zeal for running in others that she initially experienced in 2007. Though that first stint ended in an injury, she bounced back the following year after joining a structured training program and took to running across India and around the world. She has gone on to run over 50 races that include the Comrades Marathon in South Africa and the Everest Marathon in Nepal. Hailing from Darjeeling, it has become her mission since 2012 to help fellow Gorkha runners from the hill town excel through the Run with Roshni Foundation and her dream is to see an Olympic marathon champion from the country some day.
